Live in Care

Live-in care can take several forms but in essence, one of our Mitcham, Streatham & Dulwich-based Carers takes up residence in your own home and provides you with care whilst living with you. 

Live-in care allows you to continue living in the comfort of your own home with a CareGiver available to assist you with your usual daily routine. With a live-in CareGiver, you will also have a trusted, friendly face to share hobbies and activities with. Many of our Clients enjoy time with their Carer, outside of the home to enjoy a stroll through Crystal Palace Park or to enjoy other community-based activities.

Our live-in care services in Mitcham, Streatham & Dulwich are a real alternative to moving into a care home. Full-time homecare can provide you with the care and support you need to remain independent at home.

The primary benefit of live-in care is that our Clients are able to continue living at home in Mitcham, Streatham & Dulwich. Staying in their own home can offer a vital level of familiarity, particularly for those living with dementia or a condition that can cause confusion. 

What’s more, live-in care enables our local CareGivers to build a relationship with their Client. Your CareGiver will work closely with you to understand your routine and needs and you will benefit from the reassurance that there is another person in the house who will be able to assist you with care and household tasks.

Live-in care is where a CareGiver lives with you in your own home. Your live-in CareGiver will support you with your daily routine, which may include helping you to get washed and dressed, preparing meals, accompanying you out in the community and general housekeeping. Your live-in CareGiver will have breaks during the day to relax and enjoy some free time and will go to sleep during the evening. For Clients who need regular care during the night, or require someone on hand at all times, a team of Carers can provide around-the-clock support so families have peace of mind that their loved one’s needs are taken care of 24-hours a day.

The cost of our homecare is calculated based on each Client’s individual needs. In some circumstances Local Authorities can help to pay for live-in care. Take a look at Lambeth council, Wandsworth Borough council, Southwark council, Bromley council, Sutton council or Croydon council’s websites for more information. 

We are often asked whether live-in homecare is cheaper than a nursing home or assisted living. Live-in care is a cost-effective alternative to a residential care home. Your live-in CareGiver will take up residence in your home for an agreed period and the cost will vary depending on the types of care you require.
